Here are some of our Favorite Sayings:

• "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.
  It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed.Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up.
  It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle when the sun comes up you'd better be running.(But, unless you're a runner, you won't understand.)"

• Some people ask why I run so fast...well what do you do when you hear a gun?
